Pour ma part j'ai été très déçu . Nous avons été groupe de 4 avant un show réservation à 6 hrs nous sommes entrée dans le restaurant à 6:35 avons été servie à 7:15 quand le show était à 7:30. La salade caesar manquait de croquant & trop de sauce & très petite & j'ai pris les calmars qui avait 2 sorte de sauce & encore beaucoup trop de sauce déjà dessus …, le service a été très long . Facture de 50$ un peu cher pour 5 bouché de salade , des calmars & coke diète ..

Réservation à 6pm pour menu spectacle qui commençait à 19h30. & il a pris 15 min pour recevoir 2 drinks & 40 minutes pour avoir la bouteille de vin & avons été servi à 19:20!!!!! On a payé avant de manger car on avait déjà assez attendu & on voulait prendre de l'avance! On a mangé en 15 min & le show était commencé! Nous avons été très déçues & ne reviendraient pour une soirée & spectacle après car le service - pas suivi. Le restaurant était plein à craquer mais si tu offres un menu spectacle il faut savoir livrer la marchandise!

Waited 40 minutes even if we had a reservation. It did not seem to bother the staff at all.
